DR.. Borgeou, leading French doctor
has new treatment for consumption!
He gives an enema of carbonic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part OF
the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too is directed at effects
the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause is has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the world, 1. e., the Brompton Hospital
for Consumptives in London, Eng.
This maIady every year carries off from
one-seventh to one-ffth of the entire pop
nlation of England!
Dr. Payne, M. d., nj. r. G. P, Of Lon
don, is authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-half the
total number of deaths from all other
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which only require some irritant
to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, sn eminent
German authority, says that cousump-
ton is caused by deficient nutrition Of
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development Of the seeds
which DIR. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys. and if they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of it's killing poison. The thou
sand little hair-like sewer tubes of the
kidneys very easily get blocked up and
diseased; and when they do, they corrupt
instead of purifying the blood. Kidney
disease may exist, and yet no pain occur
in that organ, because it is deficient in
nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day, and
it soon testers and is destroyed. Send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that So per cent of the victims OF
consumption were afflicted with deranged
kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
poison to remain in the blood and irritate
the lungs. This uric acid is always fight.
ing every vital organ, and il there be any
inherent weakness il, the lungs it inevita-
bly, causes pneumonia, cough and con-
sumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being SO authoritatively shown to be
faulty, even though unsupported action o.
the kidneys explains why, in order tc
master the dreaded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the dreaded uric
acid irritant which inhames and burns VI
the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great speci
fic, Warmers safe cure. This remedy hal
now the favor of medical men all over the
world purely on its merits. We have NJ
doubt that if the kidneys are kept in nat
ural action, consumption and a great
many other diseases, caused by uric acid
will not only be cured but will be pre-
vented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albu
men appears in the water, but albumen is
found in the water of more than half oil
those who die Of consumption.
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption: First
weakened kidneys; second, retained uric
acid, poisoning the blood; third, the de-
velopment of disease in the lungs by the
irritant acids passing through them
Then there is a little cough in the morn
ing; soon thick, yellow matter is spit up
followed by loss of flesh and strength
with dreadful night sweats; and when the
/ patient goes to his school physician fol
help, he is put on cod liver oil, which bis
stomach, weakened also by uric acid il
the blood, cannot digest. Because there
is no pain present in the kidneys, the pa
tent does not think they are affected
but the kidney acid is doing its work
every minute, every hour, day and night
and by and by the disease of the lungs
has advanced until pus has developed
then come hemorrhages, and at last the
CLASSY stare which denotes that the end
is near.
A post-mortem examination of such
cases shows that the terrible uric acid has
completely destroyed the substance OF
the lung.
